FIRST POWER OF THE PRIMES SIGHTING - Deluxe Toys In Arizona With Target DCPI Number

ExVee - Saturday, November 11, 2017

Those of us who've been around the block a few times knew to be expecting Power of The Primes sometime before the end of the year. We just might not have expected a first sighting quite this early. Arizona, frequently a magical land of new toys has yielded the first sighting of the new Generations imprint, as Jazz and Dreadwind were found at a Target in Sierra Vista by Skalor. A photo of the receipt was provided which also gives us a Target DCPI number which appears to be new for this line - which means it can be used to do some inventory searching right from home! Click through for the pictures and more info!

The DCPI number for the Deluxes, per this receipt, is 087-06-5863. Comparing it to a receipt we have on hand from a purchase of Titans Return wave 5 toys shows this as a new number. Inventory at Target can be checked through a web application on Brickseek. It isn't necessarily a definitive answer to if your local store will have these on hand, but it's a good starting guideline before you try any hunting. Skalor reported that the Dinobots were not to be seen, though that may simply reflect that only part of one case was stocked out to the shelves at that time.

A quick check on Brickseek's tool shows other Arizona Targets (notably around Tuscon) also show stock. However, other locations we've tested in the more eastern part of the country don't have anything yet. Good luck to all the toy hunters!

2005 Forums member Wing_Saber-X has reported that a local store in Malaysia has Power of the Primes Prime Masters, Legends, Deluxes, and Voyagers on sale! This is our first sighting in Asian stores, and our second overall sighting of Voyagers after a sighting in Canada this week. Hopefully they'll move into other markets soon.

You may remember Flame Toys, who came on the scene last year with their first officially licensed Transformers figure, a non-converting high detail figure of Drift. Their second project turned out to be Decepticon Justice Division commander Tarn, and tonight we have a new image of a prototype for that figure, along with a hint that there may be more of it to be seen at Toy Soul 2017 this weekend in Hong Kong. It's possible that at least a hand-painted color sample of Tarn may be shown off, but odds are good either way some form of prototype will be a centerpiece of their exhibit.

It's that time again, with Titans Return episode 6, "Desperate Actions" hitting the go90 streaming service. We haven't watched it yet, so we have no idea what to tell (or warn) you about for this episode. Keep reading for a link so you can discover it for yourself!

Another chance! Via Ben's World of Transformers, one Bowser A. Flatliner reports that Titans Return Deluxe Arcee with Titan Masters Leinad and Ultra Magnus were sighted in a physical ToysRUs store! The going rate for the set was $26.99 - and they're being displayed in their featureless boxes, which we're still 100% certain were designed as mailers for an aborted Transformers Fan Club. Happy Hunting!

The website Time & Space put up a gallery of images of an interesting new promotion for the AU x Transformers Infobar Optimus Prime figure: a cardboard sculpture of the toy! The intricately designed and assembled sculpture is the work of artist Monami Ohno, whose work in the medium of cardboard is very impressive indeed- even the logos and numbers on the phone parts are carefully-cut cardboard.
